CHAMPS-Ethiopia Program’s laboratory with a maximum capacity of running 4000 COVID-19 tests per day is now open for operation. The laboratory is expected to give services to communities in the Eastern part of Ethiopia.

According to Dr Nega Assefa, Principal Investigator (PI) of CHAMPS-Ethiopia program, the laboratory at the College of Health and Medical Sciences, Harar Campus, was established to collect and process samples to identify causes of death in children under-five years in Harar and Kersa areas.

Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) gave training to the laboratory technicians, reviewed the capacity, tested the readiness of the laboratory and has given its approval for operation. Though it is difficult to use the maximum capacity of the laboratory now, it has the capacity of testing 4000 COVID-19 samples per day.

Mr. Ordin Bedri, honorable guest and President of Harari Region, acknowledged the role the University has taken in the control and prevention of the pandemic and said the start of testing in the region will contribute to the prevention of the disease and promised the region’s support to the University.

Dr. Jemal Yousuf, University President, appreciated all the work done by the University staff benefiting the surrounding community and expressed his hope that the laboratories would contribute since testing is one of the basic mechanisms which helps to control the spread of this pandemic.

Mr. Abdulkadir Gelgelo, Deputy Head of Oromia Regional Health Bureau, expressed his gratitude for all the work the University did and assured the region will be supporting the University in its efforts.

Haramaya University has been contributing to the control and prevention of the pandemic in the surrounding community in various ways. So far, the Haramaya University has designed and produced sample facemasks, produced and distributed hand-sanitizer, and distributed COVID-19 prevention communication materials in different formats. The University staff have also been working to support nearby communities using their professional knowledge.

As part of its humanitarian effort to the COVID-19 response, Haramaya University provided food support to 378 needy families worth more than 935,000 (nine hundred twenty thousand) birr.

A two-month food and cleaning supplies was distributed to family heads that are unable to do their jobs because of the limited movement implemented to curb the spread of COVID-19.

During the ceremony, University President, Dr. Jamal Yousuf said, “Haramaya University has been working to reduce and prevent the spread of the virus in the community since the first case was confirmed in the country. The food support, today, is part of the humanitarian effort to alleviate the problem of the local families in need who have been affected by the current crisis.”

According to Prof. Mengistu Urege, Academic Vice-president of the University and COVID-19 Task Force Logistic Team Coordinator, the University distributed “40kg maize, 20kg sorghum, 15kg teff, 15kg haricot bean, 25kg macaroni, 5kg rice, 5kg oat, 4kg soya bean, 3 liter edible oil, 200ml sanitizer, and two soap bars to each family; the support given to one family cost Birr 3870 (three thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven), with the total support for the households cost Birr 688,860.00 (six hundred eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and sixty)”.

Mayor of Haramaya Town, Mr. Jaffer Yusuf, urged the public to take precautionary measures as the virus poses a serious threat to the public and the country. He thanked the University for its support to those affected by the virus and said they would work with different organizations to reach out to those in need to prevent the problem from escalating.

The University also donated food supplies worth Birr 246,548.00 (two hundred forty-six thousand five hundred forty-eight) to 200 households in need in Gurawa Town, East Hararghe Zone.
